Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to adapt the Aging Semantic Differential Scale into Turkish. Rosencranz and McNevin (1969) first developed this scale to measure ageism and specific attitudes toward old people. Since then, this scale has been adapted into many languages, though not Turkish, and widely used in gerontology literature.
